Express Assessment of Economic Attitudes Test

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen attitudes and beliefs related to economic behavior. The Express Assessment of Economic Attitudes provides a rapid snapshot of an individual’s economic viewpoints that may be relevant to research or applied assessment contexts.

The instrument includes 17 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture general orientations toward economic issues and everyday financial decision-making, supporting efficient group administration and comparison across respondents.

The Express Assessment of Economic Attitudes is most appropriately interpreted as a descriptive measure of stated attitudes rather than as a stand-alone indicator of competence or functioning. When authorship is cited, it is commonly attributed to F. Thomas Juster and Paul M. Warshaw.
